FBI: Yes, Queen Hillary Broke The Law. No, She Won't Be Prosecuted.

Hillary lies – people died. The Federal Bureau of
Investigation says, Don’t worry about it, we cleared the crook to run for POTUS.

Here’s an interesting note I heard on Fox News. Did you
realize there were two investigations underway? Director Comey gives Crooked
Hillary a pass on her illegal email at her private home, but she and other
Clintons are still under investigation for receiving suspicious donations from foreign
entities as compensation for nefarious political favors.

On July 4, 1776, the United States announced its
independence from Great Britain based on the key principle of rule of law.

On July 5, 2016, the United States said, “F*** it. I’m With
Hillary!”

Just days after the Attorney General of the United States
Loretta Lynch held a secret meeting aboard a plane with former President Bill
Clinton – whose wife was under FBI investigation; just the day after Hillary
leaked that she’d want Lynch for her own administration; just hours after the
President of the United States Barack Obama flew Hillary – still under FBI
investigation – down to North Carolina on Air Force One; just two hours before
Obama was to open his campaign on behalf of Hillary Clinton, FBI Director James
Comey announced that while Hillary Clinton had clearly engaged in criminal
activity worthy of prosecution, he had recommended that she not be prosecuted.

Because of course he did.

Here are Comey’s
findings, which demonstrate full violation of multiple provisions
of federal law:

oHillary
Clinton utilized multiple “different servers and administrators of those
servers during her four years at the State Department, and used numerous mobile
devices to view and send e-mail on that personal domain.” So she was lying when
she said that she only set up the system so that she could use one handheld
device.

oHillary
transmitted classified information. Here’s Comey: “From the group of 30,000
e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have
been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the
time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information
that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret
information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is
the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000 additional
e-mails were ‘up-classified’ to make them Confidential; the information in
those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent.” So she lied
that no classified information was received or sent.

oHillary
did not hand over all her work emails to the State Department. At least three
of those emails were classified “at the time they were sent or received, one at
the Secret level and two at the Confidential level.” Comey was kind here to
Hillary – he said that there was no evidence that “any of the additional
work-related emails were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them.”
Except, of course, that deleting such emails would be the entire purpose of
having a private server.

oHillary’s
lawyers didn’t read the emails they deleted – they just deleted stuff based on
header information and search terms. “It is highly likely their search terms
missed some work-related e-mails, and that we later found them, for example, in
the mailboxes of other officials or in the slack space of a server,” Comey
said. This would be destroying possibly classified material. And as Comey says,
there may be a fair bit of data they never saw: “It is also likely that there
are other work-related e-mails that they did not produce to State and that we
did not find elsewhere, and that are now gone because they deleted all e-mails
they did not return to State, and the lawyers cleaned their devices in such a
way as to preclude complete forensic recovery.”

oComey
admitted openly that Hillary’s team was “extremely careless in their handling
of very sensitive, highly classified information….None of
these e-mails should have been on any kind of unclassified system, but their presence
is especially concerning because all of these e-mails were housed on
unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff,
like those found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government—or even
with a commercial service like Gmail.”

oHillary
knew that classified material was passing across her server; as Comey
acknowledged, “even if information is not marked “classified” in an e-mail,
participants who know or should know that the subject matter is classified are
still obligated to protect it.”

oHillary’s
server could have been hacked, and some of her emails were likely hacked in
other people’s inboxes: “With respect to potential computer intrusion by
hostile actors, we did not find direct evidence that Secretary Clinton’s personal
e-mail domain, in its various configurations since 2009, was successfully
hacked. But, given the nature of the system and of the actors potentially
involved, we assess that we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence. We
do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial e-mail
accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her
personal account. We also assess that Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal
e-mail domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent.
She also used her personal e-mail extensively while outside the United States,
including sending and receiving work-related e-mails in the territory of
sophisticated adversaries. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is
possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal
e-mail account.” [Bold Text by Blog Editor}

So, Hillary lied. She lied that she never transmitted
classified information. She lied that she only used a private server because
she wanted one device. She lied that the State Department allowed her to
jerry-rig this technological set-up. She lied that the emails were never
breached.

But according to Comey, no biggie.

Now, Comey essentially admitted that Hillary violated federal
law. As he said, “Our investigation looked at whether there is evidence
classified information was improperly stored or transmitted on that personal
system, in violation of a federal statute making it a felony to mishandle
classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way, or a
second statute making it a misdemeanor to knowingly remove classified
information from appropriate systems or storage facilities.” And Comey stated
that the FBI had “investigated to determine whether there is evidence of
computer intrusion in connection with the personal e-mail server by any foreign
power, or other hostile actors.”

But no matter. The law doesn’t apply to Hillary Clinton. As
Comey said, “To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances,
a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the
contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative
sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now.”

No, we’re dealing with the Clintons. There’s a different set
of rules for high-profile Democrats.

Although there is evidence of
potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified
information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a
case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before bringing
charges. There are obvious considerations, like the strength of the evidence,
especially regarding intent. Responsible decisions also consider the context of
a person’s actions, and how similar situations have been handled in the past.
In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified
information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges
on these facts. All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly
intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast
quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of
intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or
efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here. As a result,
although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this,
we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this
case.

Nonsense.

Past cases have focused on willful
transmission of classified information to outside actors. But that’s not
what the rule of law is. The rule of law says that laws must be applied as
they are written, and they must be applied equally. Here are just a few of the
statutes Hillary clearly violated, according to Comey’s own statement:

18 USC §793. This statute explicitly states
that whoever, “entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any
document…through gross
negligence permits the same to removed from its proper place of custody…or having knowledge that
the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody….shall be fined under this
title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.” Comey called her “extremely
careless.” That was highly charitable. But even by that standard, Hillary was
grossly negligent with classified material. Comey says Hillary had no intent to
transmit information to foreign powers. But that’s not what the statute
requires.

18 USC §1924. This statute states that any
employee of the United States who “knowingly removes [classified] documents or
materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or
materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or
imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.” Hillary set up a private
server explicitly to do this.

18 USC §798. This statute states that anyone
who “uses in any manner prejudicial to the safety or interest of the United
States…any classified
information…shall be
fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.” Hillary
transmitted classified information in a manner that harmed the United States;
Comey says she may have been hacked.

18 USC §2071. This statute says that anyone
who has custody of classified material and “willfully and unlawfully conceals,
removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be
fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years.” Clearly,
Hillary meant to remove classified materials from government control.

Yes, Hillary broke the law.

But the law no longer matters. The woman for whom the
executive branch just manipulated the law will likely end up running that
executive branch. God help us all.

John Adams wrote in the Massachusetts Constitution that the
purpose of separation of powers was to ensure that we establish “a government
of laws, and not of men.” So much for that idea. We now have a government by
the Obamas, the Clintons, the elites. And thanks to the Divine Right of Kings,
they are not subject to the laws of the merely mortal whom they govern.
